[Widor Messe]

Hello Christopher - just wondering if you ever had an answer to this!...

[Appointments]

Big news for Westminster/Peterborough!

[Appointments]

Simon Hogan moves from St Paul's, London to Southwell as of September.

[Appointments]

Philip White-Jones is to leave Southwell (to train as a pilot!). Simon Bell leaves Winchester for Tewkesbury/Dean Close. Excellent news re. Ashley Grote!

[Appointments]

I see that Norwich Cathedral are now advertising for a new Master of Music, following David Lowe's departure last year.

[Appointments]

I understand Benjamin Nicholas is to leave Tewkesbury Abbey/Dean Close School to become full-time Organist & Director of Music at Merton College, Oxford.

[Appointments]

Christopher McElroy moves from Leeds to take the helm at Liverpool Met.

[Appointments]

Ian Keatley moves from Westminster Abbey Choir School and All Saints' Fulham to Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.

[Appointments]

I believe Jamie McVinnie is hitting the freelance circuit. There does seem to be a lot of movement going on at the moment! I fear the Yorkshire Diocese boundary changes will mean Bradford struggle to appoint an appropriate successor for Andrew Teague.

Also, MusingMuso will be releived to hear that the lovely case in the North Aisle isn't being sawn up and dumped in a skip. In fact, there's a sign up at the moment explaining that the front pipes are away being cleaned and will return shortly!

 

Hope that's useful.
